Section Ⅰ Starting out & Understanding ideas

[对应学生用书P55]

Like Father, Like Son

(The living room.Friday night.A table and two chairs at front centre.Grandfather and Father, [1]seated at the table, are playing chess①.)

[1]此处为过去分词短语作定语。seat意为“(使)就座，坐下”，常用过去分词表状态。

Grandfather：And...I win!

(Son enters room.)

Father：Not again！Oh look, [2]here comes my boy．How are you, son?

[2]此处为here，there等副词位于句首引起的完全倒装。

Son：(nervously② approaching③ the table) Erm...Dad, can we talk?

Father：Sure! You know you can always turn to④ your dad for a chat⑤.

Son：OK.Here it is.⑥I've decided not to go to university.I want to focus⑦ on my band and have a career⑧ in music when I leave school.

Father：(raising his voice⑨ in surprise⑩) You can't be serious！What about your future career as a lawyer⑪？！

Son：I knew you'd say that.You just assume⑫ I want to be a lawyer, but that's only [3]because you are a lawyer．

[3]此处为because引导的表语从句，后接的内容表示原因。

Father：What's wrong with being a lawyer? Lawyers help people and are respected⑬ by others.

Son：Yes, but I'm not interested in law.I want to work in a studio⑭， not a court⑮.

Grandfather：(looking at Father) Calm down⑯.OK?

Father：(ignoring⑰ Grandfather's words) Stop daydreaming⑱！ [4]Playing in a band is not a job.

[4]此处为v.-ing短语作主语，谓语动词用单数形式。

Son：Of course it is! The music industry is developing fast now.Making music is a job.

Grandfather：(stepping between Father and Son and raising his voice) Hey！I told you to calm down, both of you!

Father：But I told him to study something useful at university!

Grandfather：(laughing) Easy⑲， son! I remember when you were his age, you said that you wanted to be a professional⑳football㉑player.

Father：And you wanted me to be an engineer!

Grandfather：I just wanted you to be happy, and an engineer—a happy engineer.

Father：But in the end㉒， you just advised㉓ me to think carefully.

Grandfather：Yes, and you have found the career [5]that suits㉔ your  talents㉕.I'm so proud of㉖you.Your son is proud of you, too.

[5]此处为that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词career。

Son：Of course I am, but I have different talents.

Grandfather：(turning to Son) Why don't you㉗ also take my advice㉘ and think carefully before jumping in with both feet㉙？

Son：Well, I could try...

Grandfather：If you go to university and play music at the same time, you will have two options㉚ for your future.And I'm sure playing in a band will help you make lots of new friends at university.

Father：Yes, lots of new lawyer friends!

Son：(with a sigh㉛)Dad...
